Single Variable Calculus

By Bernard Gillett, William L. Briggs, Lyle Cochran

This much anticipated second edition of the most successful new calculus text published in the last two decades retains the best of the first edition while introducing important advances and refinements. Authors Briggs, Cochran, and Gillett build from a foundation of meticulously crafted exercise sets, then draw students into the narrative through writing that reflects the voice of the instructor, examples that are stepped out and thoughtfully annotated, and figures that are designed to teach rather than simply supplement the narrative. The authors appeal to students' geometric intuition to introduce fundamental concepts, laying a foundation for the development that follows. KEY TOPICS: Functions; Limits; Derivatives; Applications of the Derivative; Integration; Applications of Integration; Logarithmic and Exponential Functions; Integration Techniques; Sequences and Infinite Series; Power Series; Parametric and Polar Curves MARKET: For all readers interested in calculus.
